Hi everyone,
I've been devastaded for 48 hours now since my father was diagnosticated with ALS. The EMG showed amplitudes and he has cold feet. My father lost weight after in March was diagnosticated with depression and took some antidepressive medication. Now he's feeling tired and his sleep is also not very good. Two weeks ago he stopped the antidepressive medication and went for a neuro investigation and that's how the diagnostic was set. No diabetis or tyroid problems have been found.
Could the EMG be influenced by the antidepressives and the whole body weakness following the treatment? My mother told me that he's feeling better in the last week and gained few kilos and is not as tired as before. He can (still) move the limbs and sounds perfect normal on the phone. His voices sounded strage while on antidepressives though.
Thanks
Oliver
